Unaware that the mon- ey was hidden, the Savage children com- mit their mother to a mental institution in order to gain control of the entire Savage estate. After attempts to conceal the money, defeat overcame Mrs. Savage as she was forced to turn the fortune over to her greedy children.

Golf courses host runners; netmen compile 6-1 record Dodging golf balls was a common place occurrence as coach Mike Poehlein’s cross country teams loped their way to another victorious season. Many of the meets were held on golf courses such as Lake Hills where a sharp eye was nec- essary to finish the race. Led by the 1-2 combination of juniors Gary Washington and Steve Serna, the Trojans accumulated a 14-3 season record. Pacing them were the other three return- ing lettermen Carl Zatkulak, Bill Barnes, and Steve Preiss. “Tennis is like a game of chess,” said Coach Jack Morris. “The player plans his entire game.” Practice began for the determined team August 15 in preparation for the opening match of the season on Sep- tember 5. Aiding the five returning lettermen were juniors Jon Swanson and John Henry in singles competition, with sophomores Gary Cox and Bill Carson in doubles. Capturing second place with a 6-1 record proved easy to the netmen, losing only to the tough Munster squad. The Trojans also took third place in sec- tionals to round out the year. Qualifying for regional competition, junior Carl Zatkulak finishes in the top twenty. VARSITY CROSS COUNTY— FRONT ROW: Coach M. Poehlein.
